Located on Highway 144 its the last town on the road for the next 270km to Timmins, (you can if you wish drive about 5kms of the beaten path to Gogama off of Highway 661 about 2/3 of the way up). A popular place for those wishing to conquer the Spanish River and see the Provincial Park. Many take VIA Rail for that trip or you could drive (there is a man in town that charges 20 dollars return to pick you up from a small logging road along the river, private access only).

The Sudbury District is a district in Northeastern Ontario in the Canadian province of Ontario.
The Sudbury District is served by Trans-Canada Highways 17, which leads from the community of Walford (Sables-Spanish Rivers) in the west to the community of Warren (Markstay-Warren) in the east, and 69, which enters the district at French River and exits at the southern boundary of Greater Sudbury.
The Ontario government is converting Highway 69 to a freeway.
It is the longest 400-Series Highway in Ontario, and among the busiest in the world.
In 1965, Ontario Premier John Robarts designated Highway 401 the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, in honour of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier, the Province of Canada's most important Fathers of Confederation, in honour of Canada's upcoming Centennial Celebrations in 1967.
The Ontario government is also planning to widen the Missisauga stretch from 6 lanes to 12 lanes from the 403-410 interchange to the Credit River, and 10 lanes to Mississauga Road.
